Hi,

The Changelog on the latest 2.6.26 kernel in Sid has this:

   * [x86]: Enable modular FB_UVESA. (closes: #473180)

and Sid now has v86d:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/v86d

Checking the .config file of linux-image-2.6.26-1-686:

...
CONFIG_CONNECTOR=m
...
CONFIG_FB_UVESA=m
...

It says right here that installing v86d and linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 and booting with:

video=uvesafb:1024x768-32,mtrr:3,ywrap

in the cmdline should result in framebuffer usage on the reboot.

It ain't so. Nothing more than 80x25.

Has anybody tried the above?

Note that Spock's website:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/

does not use 'm' but 'y' for both of the config entries.

Am I missing something, as usual?

Hugo
